The brother request

Roo keeps asking for a big brother. A lot. At least once a week. Or, sometimes it’s that he wants to be a big brother. He’s even told me he would share his toys. For this afternoon we had arranged a play date with his best buddy from school. When I picked them up they were so happy. They walked the entire way home holding hands. When we were leaving school a couple moms commented, “oh,you have a play date, how fun”. Roo explained that this was his friend, not his brother. The young woman that occasionally watches Roo is expecting a baby due in January. One time when she was over I was explaining to Roo that she has a baby boy in her tummy. He pulled me aside and quietly whispered “does this mean I’ll be a big brother?”.
